   @klardotsh now you got me curious about whether it's possible to bootstrap fennel from tinycc

   huh

     @efraim @klardotsh even after it's fully bootstrapped, #fennel needs the Lua VM at runtime, no way to get around that

     the compiler is written in itself but uses an old version of the pre-self-hosted compiler to bootstrap

     (it does work when bootstrapping Lua from tcc but the way I tried it still required glibc so not quite as minimal as I was hoping)

     @technomancy
     @klardotsh does fennel bootstrap from lua or from fennel? It's been a while since I looked at it.
